Paris In The Rain

3.2 :

He took the menu back, and as the waitress came, he shot at her," Sandwich or fish and chips?"

"Al-"

"Not a chance on salad. Now, chicken, bacon, or beef?"

Trying to ignore her nonsense uneven heartbeat, she gave him a sharp look, and he looked to the waitress as if not seeing her, "Bacon Sandwich, extra cheese, another cup of coffe for me and-"

"A glass of cappucino for me, thankyou," Cassandra cuts, giving the waitress a thankful smile and giving Alaric the opposite reaction that made the guy scoffs while a smirk is seen on his face. "You didn't object," he states. "Do i even have the chance?" She complained then opening the file on her lap which he just realised she's taking, and let her do Whatever she's doing in peace before her food finally came.

She needed to read the file, but she's trying hard to focus while she tried to get her heart to beat normally. He took it to himself to cut her food while she doesn't even realise the food has already came. He called her, and as she opened her mouth to question why he called her, suddenly her mouth is filled with various ingredients which made her mouth full. Alaric chuckled again before casually drinking his coffee, as Cassandra -again- giving him a sharp glare before took it to herself to feed herself.

Feeling anxious having Alaric staring at her while she's eating, she looked up to meet his face. "you'd like a bite?" She asked as she's holding the cutted sandwich on the fork and pointed it to him. Something shimmered in his eyes, but before he got to say anything, a voice cuts in, darting Cassandra's attention; "Cassie?"

"Oh my gosh, it is you, the stunning Cassandra Edlyns," the guy stated as he sees her face, and leaned in for a hug, whcih is too 'friendly' for just friend in Alaric's eyes. "Arsen Hayes, how are you?" Cassandra asked as the guy in the navy tux lifted his shoulder. "As usual love, photoshoot, and catwalk, and such," he chuckled as Cassandra cleared her throat, as if just remembering it's not just the two of them. "Ase, this is my-" Her words are cutted as Arsen offers Alaric a hand- which he took- that made Arsen commented, "Thompson, right? It's an Honor to meet such influential person."

He turned to look at Cassandra, and talked in a lower tone, "No wonder you turned me down, quite a catch there Cassie," he said with a smile, before walking away after patting her shoulder. "It's your hotel, so i suppose i'll see you around?" He gave her a wink as he turned around to follow his manager, and next thing she know is Alaric giving her some sort of glare. "What?"

"Nothing, just surprised i'm dating a hollywood insider."

"I'm not a hollywood ins-" Cassandra stopped, as if thinking through what she's saying, as Alaric is looking at her with a teasing smirk, and a raised eyebrow- as his eyes gleamed. "So, you're admitting that we're dating?"

And suddenly, her sandwich looks reallly interesting.
